Dear BhakthAs :

 

It is my privelege to let you know that

five of us have joined together to create

the 108 Divya Desam Web pages so that BhakthAs

all over the world can have the darsanam of the

EmperumAns and ThAyArs of these sacred centers .

We seek humbly the blessings of the Divya Dampathis

to give us the wisdom and strength to complete this

task and place this kaimkaryam at their lotus feet .

 

The bhakthAs uniting together to give the shrama dhAnam

in the alphabetical reader are :

 

Sriman Parthasarathy DILEEPAN of Tennessee

Sriman Venkatsh ELAYAVALLI of California

Sriman Varadachari SADAGOPAN of New York

Sriman Mani VARADARAJAN of California

Sriman T.A. VARADHAN of Colorado

 

Expert counsel from Sri Sampath Rengarajan on

Sthala PurANams and Sri Anbil Swami on general

matters related to the 108 Divya desams will

also be available to the above group of five .

In this Bhakthi group , It is intersting to

point out that only Two have completed the

pilgrimage to the entire set of 106 divya desams

on this Earth .These bhAgyasAlis are Srimans

P.Dileepan and Anbil Swami .The divya desams of

ThiruppARkkadal and Sri Vaikuntam are inaccessible

to anyone with our human body .

 

 

In addition to the pictures of the divya dampathis ,

we plan to have a rich set of information related to

these divya desams : VimAnam , PushkaraNi ,

Pratyaksham , MangalAsAsanams , Sthala PurANam ,

Route for access and most of all a PICTURE TOUR .

 

Some of the home pages like that for Srirangam ,

Thiruppathi would be rich and some like ThirukkaLvanUr

would be thin . The intent however is to create

the complete set for the 108 Divya desams and

perhaps add some abhimAna sthalams like

Melkote , Vaduvur et al as well .

 

We are working on developing a ONE PAGE common format

to which hyperlinks can be added for navigation for

those , who would be seeking in-depth information

on paasurams , related articles et al .

 

Our hope is to speed it up and get the work completed

as soon as possible . We already have the home pages

for Thiruvahindrapuram (Courtesy : Sri Mani VaradarAjan ),

Srirangam and some of the vada Naadu Thiruppathis

( Courtesy : Sri Parthasarathy Dileepan ),

ThiruviNNagar ( Srimans Sreyas Sarangan ,

Sampath Rengarajan and VaradachAri Sadagopan ),

Sholingar and Triplicane ( Sri VenaktEsh Elayavalli ),

ThirukkaNNapuram ( V.Sadagopan ) , ThiruveLlarai

( Sri Govindarajan and V.Sadagopan ) , Ahobilam

and Thir evvuuLL( Sri P.Dileepan ), Sri VillipputthUr

( Courtesy :Sri Venkat )and a few others in different stages

of development .We will attempt to overlay this

common format and pack the pages with as much information

that is available .

 

HERE IS A REQUEST TO YOU AS BHAKTHAAS FROM

INDIVIDUAL DIVYA DESAMS :Please let me as a

co-ordinator of this project know of any material

( Images of the EmperumAn, ThAyAr, Divya desam

and any other pertinent matters )that you may have

for inclusion in these proposed home pages .

I will return them to you after the completion

of the project . We ahve a respectable data base of

pictures already and can compliment them

as we go along with your help.

 

We would also need some scanning help .

It is all volunteer work . Hence at times ,

we will be calling on BhakthAs with Web page

development skills for additional help.

Please let me know , which one of you want to

volunteer as needed . It is nice to have the

roaster of skills for my use as a coordinator

intent on pushing this project through by

Panguni Utthiram at the earliest and ANDAL's

Thirunakshathram (Aadip Pooram ) at the latest .

 

We neeed all the help we can get as we go along

on this magnificient adventure to integrate

these divya desam related Text, Images , Audio

and Video , wherever appropriate.

 

With humble prayers to the SaraNya Dampathis

to bless us to complete this important project ,

that is the common heritage of all VaishNavAs .
